[00:17.498]Do you remember me?
[00:22.890]I sat upon your knee;
[00:24.987]I wrote to you
[00:27.689]With childhood fantasies.
[00:32.459]Well, I'm all grown-up now,
[00:36.899]And still need help somehow.
[00:40.890]I'm not a child,
[00:43.129]But my heart still can dream.
[00:48.449]So here's my lifelong wish,
[00:53.790]My grown-up Christmas list.
[00:56.990]Not for myself,
[00:59.900]But for a world in need.
[01:05.519]No more lives torn apart,
[01:11.690]That wars would never start,
[01:15.139]And time would heal all hearts.
[01:21.459]And everyone would have a friend,
[01:27.889]And right would always win,
[01:31.390]And love would never end.
[01:36.108]This is my grown-up Christmas list.
[01:52.390]As children we believed
[01:56.378]The grandest sight to see
[02:00.409]Was something lovely
[02:02.579]Wrapped beneath our tree.
[02:08.999]Well Heaven surely knows
[02:12.670]That packages and bows
[02:15.967]Can never heal
[02:17.837]A hurting human soul.
[02:23.597]No more lives torn apart,
[02:29.858]That wars would never start,
[02:34.498]And time would heal all hearts.
[02:38.988]And everyone would have a friend,
[02:44.937]And right would always win,
[02:48.577]And love would never end.
[02:55.778]This is my grown-up Christmas list.
[03:03.467]What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
[03:10.858]Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
[03:33.870]No more lives torn apart,
[03:40.317]That wars would never start,
[03:44.788]And time would heal all hearts.
[03:51.197]And everyone would have a friend,
[03:55.937]And right would always win,
[03:59.147]And love would never end, oh.
[04:05.537]This is my grown-up Christmas list.
[04:13.577]This is my grown-up Christmas list.
